Abstract

In this study, we present the formation of the current district of Buenolândia, in the city of Goias/GO, from its historical reference to the socio-spatial and symbolic production of its inhabitants, through the Cultural approach in Geography. The objective of this discussion is based on a historical perspective that addresses the lived experiences of the inhabitants in the district's landscape, their footprints on this territory. A methodology used in this research, in addition to the bibliographic survey, was also carried out with visiting museums, reading collections and notary offices, field work, map making, theoretical elaboration and systematization. The structure of the article is divided into three parts: O Arraial and Sesmarias as the Landmark of Occupation of the Sertões of Minas dos Goyazes, The Parish of Nossa Senhora do Rosário da Barra and the Political-Legal Demarcation conferring the Normative Control of the Portuguese Colony and of the District of Buenolândia. It concludes with the reflection about this geographic space, with its administrative changes that permeate from the Arraial, the Parish to the District, going through its cycle of composite territorial formation and recognized so far.
